GOVERNMENT OF A.P. vs Y. SURENDER REDDY

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's order directing the Surplus Manpower Cell in the Finance Department to consider the respondent's case for appointment as Assistant Motor Vehicle Inspector, citing Section 19 of the Administrative Tribunal Act, 1985. The Court found that the respondent, having undergone necessary training and being eligible for the position, should be considered for appointment despite the earlier dismissal of his application by the Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal. The appeal was dismissed as infructuous, affirming the High Court's directive for timely consideration of the respondent's case.
